The Prattville Planning Commission meeting on June 12, 2025, focused on a zoning amendment proposal for a property located at the corner of Groovy Airport and Aviation Way. This item was postponed from the previous meeting due to confusion regarding the need for subdivision before rezoning.
The applicant seeks to rezone a one-acre portion of a 16.37-acre property from FAR (Future Agricultural Residential) to T1 (Commercial). The intention is to place one mobile home on the newly rezoned acre while leaving the remainder of the property under its current zoning designation. The commission discussed the zoning ordinance, which states that district boundaries are typically defined by lot lines and right-of-way lines, and clarified that subdivision regulations do not dictate the need for subdivision in zoning amendments.
During the meeting, the applicant expressed gratitude for the commission's patience throughout the process. The commission members reviewed the preliminary plat submitted by the applicant, which outlines the proposed changes. It was noted that if the rezoning amendment does not pass, the applicant would still need to submit a final plat to proceed with any development plans.
The meeting did not include a public hearing, as this topic had already been discussed in the previous month. The commission members were encouraged to vote on the amendment, with the understanding that the outcome would determine the next steps for the applicant. The resolution for the zoning amendment was read, confirming the request to rezone the specified one-acre parcel.
